I am a Mellotron fanatic. It is my absolute favorite instrument after guitar. I’ve owned a ton of Mellotron variants since I can’t afford the real one. I started with Mike Pinder’s AKAI library, I’ve owned a Nord Stage with their Mellotron sample library. Two variations of the Memotron at different times. GMedia’s Mellotron original and Pro version for my Mac with all the add on libraries. And I’ve owned this developers iPad apps with his libraries since release. I’ve been so excited for this mostly for the incoming AUv3, but also the promised sonic improvements and it does not disappoint. There is so much more there in this version and it still has all that lo-fi Mellotron magic we love. With the tone control, 1/2 speed, optional MK2 EQ preamp and cabinet modeling you have so much variation in sound available for each tape set. Want it more aggressive with some added mid-range bite, turn on that EQ, mellowed out just turn it off and turn that tone known left. This app holds its own against everything I own and have owned and it’s so usable for any studio or live application. To have this in my iPad is just ridiculous. AuV3 will make this the perfect app and its already a go to for me in less than a week. The developer has also already added two new tape banks in the first updates and is promising more in the future that will get us from (now 65) to almost 100 with no extra costs! Talk about a great deal. Thanks for the hard work and making my “perfect app” for iPad music making.

As a kid, I grew up searching for the special sounds that connected all of my favorite music from the 60s and 70s. It took a long while until I realized how many times that sound was the mellotron. Of course, it was some version of flutes and violins and horns, but the sound had a special quality that was wholly unique beyond the instruments of origin.As a user of this company’s previous mellotron app M3000 and the desktop, M-Tron Pro I was curious about Streetlytron as a rebuild. I love the updated interface and think that it makes it really easy to select new sounds. I also like the 8 channels that you can save your presets to all neatly laid out. It really is user friendly, looks great, and sounds beautiful. I’m also excited about future upgrades that they’ve alluded to. Definitely worth a look!I’m really diggin the “Three Cellos Louis” patch. Absolutely beautiful.

Music fills my life and makes me full. As someone who has plinked haphazardly at length on the family piano he grew up with, fixed cheesy discarded electronic keyboards for his kids, and regularly toys with the idea of learning to actually play, this app fills much of the musical-keyboard longing I feel. Very satisfying. Now I can play the ‘Close Encounters’ chord progression in the style of a Russian Choir from my iPhone secreted beneath the conference table during boring meeting, hook a 100W amp up to my midi keyboard via the Mac and wake my teenage sons with a church organ music, or just lay in a hammock in the back yard on a fine spring day trying to figure out the keyboard parts to In-A-Gatta-Da-Vita on my iPad. Deep and rich experience. Thanks for making it possible!

This is a lovely app with the perfect sound. The functionality is mostly good and even seems to perform beyond its stated capabilities. The only thing is I want to trigger presets from another app. Tried to set up note on/offs on channel 10 as required. The problem is, my Streetlytron is set to Omni so when I hit those triggers in my other app (Loopy Pro) it plays notes instead of triggering the preset change. I need my Streetlytron in Omni for other reasons. Would be great if the preset selector could be set to MIDI cc’s like everything else. Perhaps it’s time for an update folks. Otherwise, this instrument is beautiful.
